ISO 22301 certification (also known as “registration”) is a third-party audit performed by a certification body such as QA who, upon verification that an organization is in compliance with the requirements of ISO 22301, will issue an ISO 22301 certificate. This certification is then maintained through regularly scheduled annual surveillance audits by the registrar, with re-certification of the Business Continuity Management System performed on a tri-annual basis.

STEPS OF CERTIFICATION

STEP ONE

Complete a Quote Request Form so that we can understand your company and requirements. We will use this information to accurately define your scope of assessment and provide you with a proposal for certification.

 

STEP TWO

Once you’ve agreed your proposal, we will contact you to book your assessment with an QA Assessor. This assessment consists of two mandatory visits that form the Initial Certification Audit. Please note that you must be able to demonstrate that your management system has been fully operational for a minimum of three months and has been subject to a management review and full cycle of internal audits.

 

STEP THREE

Following a successful two stage audit, a certification decision is made and if positive, then certification to the required standard is issued by QA. You will receive both a hard and soft copy of the certificate. Certification is valid for three years and is maintained through a programme of annual surveillance audits and a three yearly recertification audit.
